The Local Change Foundation is proud to announce that it has awarded $70,000 in grants to 12 nonprofit organizations serving communities across Colorado’s Front Range. Each year, the foundation provides funding to nonprofits that make a meaningful difference in the lives of local residents. 

“One of the most rewarding days of the year is giving grants to such deserving organizations who work tirelessly to create change in our communities,” said Jennifer Hinderliter, director of Local Change. “Our support for local nonprofits doesn’t end here.” The foundation also provides year-round assistance through free virtual training seminars. 

This year’s grants support two critical areas of need: affordable housing and mental health. 

Affordable housing grantees 

Mental health grantees 

Members’ Choice Award ($5,000 grant): The Inn Between of Longmont, Inc. 

Employees’ Choice Award ($5,000 grant): Medicine Horse Program 

Since its founding in 2010, the Local Change Foundation has awarded more than $860,000 to 78 organizations and contributed over $4 million in community resources.
